WX = WY
4x+3 = 7x-66
3x = 69
x = 23
WX = 95 = WY
XY = 5*23-7 = 108

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 12 + 20 =

guajiro [1.7K]

We can use prime factorization to find the GCF:

$12 = 3^1 \cdot 4^1$

$20 = 4^1 \cdot 5^1$

The greatest value both 12 and 20 share is 4. By factoring this out of the equation, we get:

4(3 + 5) = 4(8) = 32

Diane is riding her bicycle. She rides 19.2 kilometers in 3 hours. What is her speed?

Sedbober [7]

To find speed, divide total distance by total time:

Speed = 19.2 / 3 = 6.4 kilometers per hour

Repeated student samples. Of all freshman at a large college, 16% made the dean’s list in the current year. As part of a class p

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

a) p-hat (sampling distribution of sample proportions)

b) Symmetric

c) σ=0.058

d) Standard error

e) If we increase the sample size from 40 to 90 students, the standard error becomes two thirds of the previous standard error (se=0.667).

Step-by-step explanation:

a) This distribution is called the <em>sampling distribution of sample proportions</em> <em>(p-hat)</em>.

b) The shape of this distribution is expected to somewhat normal, symmetrical and centered around 16%.

This happens because the expected sample proportion is 0.16. Some samples will have a proportion over 0.16 and others below, but the most of them will be around the population mean. In other words, the sample proportions is a non-biased estimator of the population proportion.

c) The variability of this distribution, represented by the standard error, is:

$\sigma=\sqrt{p(1-p)/n}=\sqrt{0.16*0.84/40}=0.058$

d) The formal name is Standard error.

e) If we divided the variability of the distribution with sample size n=90 to the variability of the distribution with sample size n=40, we have:

$\frac{\sigma_{90}}{\sigma_{40}}=\frac{\sqrt{p(1-p)/n_{90}} }{\sqrt{p(1-p)/n_{40}}}}= \sqrt{\frac{1/n_{90}}{1/n_{40}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1/90}{1/40}}=\sqrt{0.444}= 0.667$

If we increase the sample size from 40 to 90 students, the standard error becomes two thirds of the previous standard error (se=0.667).

The weight, y, in pounds, of kittens was tracked for the first 8 weeks after birth where t represents the number of weeks after

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mentioned relationship for the weight, in pounds, of the kitten with respect to time, in weeks, is

$\hat y =1.7 +1.48t$

Weight of the kitten after 10 weeks

$\hat y =1.7 +1.48\times 10$

$\hat y =16.5$ pounds

This modeled equation is based on the observation of the early age of a kitten where the kitten is in its growth period, but in the early stage the growth rate in the weight of the kitten was the same but the growth of any living beings continues till the adult stage. So, after some time, in real life situation, this weekly change in weight will become zero, So, this model is not suitable to measure the weight of the kitten over the larger time period.

Here, t= 10 weeks is nearby the observed time period, so the linearly modeled equation can be used to predict the weight.

Hence, the weight of the kitten after 10 weeks is 16.5 pounds.
